Description

Building on the successful and much-loved Flux, Fox Racing's Striker
takes the half-dome concept a step further by moving into the
competition realm. This means a lighter helmet, which was achieved
through a slimmer profile and a revised expanded polystyrene shell, as
well as two additional vents for better cooling during higher exertions.

This results in a total of 22 vents and a weight that hovers right
around 300 grams — about 60 less than the Striker's litter mate, and
comfortably below the competitive alternatives. With less weight to
counter, your neck will thank you on those extended descents; and if you
find yourself on the wrong end of the bars, CPSC safety ratings are
there to help you brush it off. To meet this criteria, Fox Racing bonds
the EPS liner with an ABS shell through in-mold technology.

The result is a structurally sound, lightweight helmet with solid
ventilation, enhanced by large, honeycomb-reinforced rear exhaust ports.
To keep the Striker in place, Fox Racing's Detox II retention system
comfortably wraps around various shapes for a custom fit, and it can be
adjusted on the fly with one hand. The Fox Racing Striker comes in two
sizes, S/M and L/XL, and five colors.

kick ass helmet... fits perfectly after

Comment on Baku CO's review:

Fantastic fitting helmet

Familiarity:
I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I purchased this helmet to replace an aging Bell helmet. I am not disappointed. I was concerned at first about how the Striker would fit my head (I have a funny-shaped head in places) but did measure my skull around the largest part. Measurements indicated I should get the S/M helmet. Was not disappointed in the slightest. I thought it fit oddly at first, but after adjusting the straps a bit, I thought the helmet fit like a glove. One of the best parts about the helmet is the provided padding. Plush for a mtb helmet, very comfortable. Helmet covers much more of my head than my previous helmet. Fantastic product and would not hesitate to recommend.

IT saved my life!

Familiarity:
I've put it through the wringer

This helmet saved my life... During a 24h race, past midnight, my wheel slipped beside the lip of the trail, and befor I could even let go of my handlebar, my head was on the ground. I felt the helmet cracking instantly, which is a great thing because it wasn't my skull. The helmet absorbed all the blow and I was A-OK. Lesson 1: Get a good helmet (Like the Fox Striker) Lesson 2 (Most important): WEAR IT!!
